INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting one of our models. Be
assured that it represents precision workmanship,
distinctive styling and high quality, traditional with
our vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the
Owner’s Manual and all the Supplements. Be sure
you are familiar with all vehicle controls, particu-
larly those used for braking, steering and trans-
mission shifting. Learn how your vehicle handles
on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will
improve with experience, but as in driving any
vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Always observe
local laws wherever you drive.
NOTE:
After you read the manual, it should be stored
in the vehicle for convenient reference and
remain with the vehicle when sold so that the
new owner will be aware of all safety warnings.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control or an accident.
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds may
result in loss of control, collision with other ve-
hicles or objects, going off the road, or overturn-
ing; any of which may lead to serious injury or
death. Also, failure to use seat belts subjects the
driver and passengers to a greater risk of injury or
death.
To keep your vehicle running at it’s best, have your
vehicle serviced at recommended intervals by an
authorized dealer who has the qualified person-
nel, special tools and equipment to perform all
service.
The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally
interested in your complete satisfaction with this
vehicle. If you encounter a service or warranty
problem which is not resolved to your satisfaction,
discuss the matter with your dealer’s manage-
ment.
Your authorized dealer will be happy to assist you
with any questions about your vehicle.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has
a higher ground clearance and a higher center of
gravity than many passenger cars. It is capable of
performing better in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all ve-
hicles can go out of control. Because of the higher
center of gravity and the narrower track, if this
vehicle is out of control it may roll over when some
other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or
other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of
vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle
safely may result in an accident, rollover of the
vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat
belts
provided is a major cause of severe or fatal
injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
